What does it take to successfully implement mRNA platforms in Nigerian communities? And how do we bridge the gap between breakthrough mRNA research and effective deployment in tropical settings?
In our latest CVRB webinar, Professor Muhammad Bashir Bello (King Abdullah International Medical Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) broke down the vital factors clinicians and policymakers in Nigeria must navigate—from cold-chain logistics to public risk-benefit communication.

Q3 CVRB National Webinar

https://luma.com/8dgk5xit

AI and digital sciences have revolutionized how the world approaches vaccine discovery and development. They are significantly accelerating antigen selection, streamlining immunoinformatics pipelines, and reducing the time required to develop next-generation countermeasures.

Join us for a focused national conversation on digital vaccine design, bioinformatics workforce development, and the systems required to transition from basic computational research to local vaccine production.

🗓️ Wednesday, 12 August 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM – 12:15 PM (WAT)
📍 Virtual (Zoom)

Hosted by the Centre for Vaccine Research & Biotechnology (CVRB), Federal University Teaching Hospital, Lafia, this session will explore practical pathways for integrating digital science with wet-lab R&D and examine computational workforce training needs

*Who should attend?*
Public health professionals, researchers, clinicians, policymakers, regulators, development partners, industry stakeholders, and early-career scientist

Research knows no borders—and neither do we at CVRB Lafia!
Massive congratulations to our staff members who just completed their French Professional Course. Equipping our team with bilingual proficiency is a deliberate step toward building a globally competitive research hub.
Through this initiative, we are actively breaking down communication barriers in pan-African healthcare. This strategic edge positions CVRB to lead cross-border clinical trials, secure international research grants, and foster deeper multilateral scientific collaborations.
We look forward to deeper cross-border research and strategic collaborations with global leaders like CDC, Health Organization, Pasteur de Dakar, West African Health Organization (WAHO), and , the Vaccine Alliance as we work together to eliminate communication barriers in global scientific breakthroughs.

La recherche ne connaît pas de frontières—et nous non plus au CVRB Lafia !
Un grand bravo aux membres de notre personnel qui viennent de terminer leur cours de français professionnel. Doter notre équipe d'une compétence bilingue est une étape délibérée vers la construction d'un pôle de recherche compétitif au niveau mondial.
Grâce à cette initiative, nous brisons activement les barrières de communication dans le secteur de la santé panafricaine. Cet atout stratégique positionne le CVRB pour diriger des essais cliniques transfrontaliers, obtenir des subventions de recherche internationales et favoriser des collaborations scientifiques multilatérales plus profondes.
Nous nous réjouissons d'approfondir la recherche transfrontalière et les collaborations stratégiques avec des leaders mondiaux tels que CDC, Health Organization, Pasteur de Dakar, West African Health Organization (WAHO) et , the Vaccine Alliance, alors que nous travaillons ensemble pour éliminer les barrières de communication dans les avancées scientifiques mondiales.

We look forward to impactful engagements, scientific advancement, and future opportunities that contribute to sustainable health innovation.
